DeWALT Cordless Grinder

We first saw DeWALT’s grinders at the company’s “Tough in the South” media event back in August. What really stood out to us about these new grinders were the impressive brakes, which were capable of completely stopping the spinning wheel in less than three seconds.

DeWALT just announced that they’re taking all of those great features and bringing them to a new line of cordless grinders. The line is made up of an Angle Grinder (DCG413R2), a Flathead Grinder (DCG413FR2) and a Die Grinder (DCG426M2). All come loaded with great features and run off of DEWALT’s 20v Max battery.

M12 Compact Charger and Power Source

Cordless tools are a necessity, which means battery chargers are also a necessity, and battery chargers are clunky and take up a lot of space. The M12 battery charger is the exception. Instead of a cumbersome ac cord, this charger runs on a Micro-USB cable, Once powered up, the Compact Charger can also be used to charge any other device that uses Micro-USB. Cordless tools are always getting lighter and more compact; it’s about time that someone brought those some things to a charger.

Cordless Compact Sander

Some jobs require the long-lasting power of a corded tool, while others benefit from the efficient maneuverability of a cordless tool. So how do you decide which version to buy? Most guys end up with both.

Well, with Festool’s new Cordless Compact Sanders, you don’t have to choose. All three of these new sander models can be used cordlessly or plugged in, giving you all the versatility in the world.
